At 18:35,, reminds me of an old johnny carson joke he told on his show. back in the 1970s the US had a proposal to put portable MX missiles throughout the US.(so as to be hidden in a dispersal) carson suggested they be put on Amtrak trains,,,, "that way no one will ever know where they are".

Funny thing is, the russians, or soviets back then, had the same idea, but they were ballistic missiles. And were phased out from the Russian military in 2005

I recall reading an article on autonomous trains in the Jan issue of TrainsMag. PTC is the 1st step in creating autonomous trains. Railroads are considering autonomous operation since trucking companies are already testing tractor-trailers on highways with no drivers. Read the article, it's very awakening! I don't feel comfortable with either. Would you feel comfortable with an 80,000 GVW tractor-trailer going 55mph on a highway along side you? Or a 1-2 mile long consist weighing many thousand's of tons hauling hazardous chemicals or flammables, coming through your area? They say dispatch will have computer control over multiple units, at the same time. That's scary too! Gee, watch my screen while I run to the restroom. And just the delay time in the signals total travel time. From train to satellite, back to operator, back to satellite and on to train. That 1-2 seconds could be a matter of life or death. There is no replacing a human at the controls while seated in the cab of the train or truck. Trucking companies are trying to compete with trains & railroads are trying to compete with trucking companies. Tell the bean counters "NO" and to come up with some other cost effective way of reducing operating costs without reducing safety.

Now imagine if a storm interferes with the signal from the satellite to the train and back? Or if there's a knuckle break or a air problem in the middle of a populated area?
